On the road through Hrubý les towards Svatý vrch, near the water, appeared the ghost of a great black dog with fire shooting from its mouth and eyes. Every evening it gave three terrible roars, then howled mournfully for a long time. If a late traveller walked along the road, the dog overtook him three times and refused to let him pass.
